#fastmail

TIL that if you use #Fastmail’s #DNS for your e-mail domain, by default your #DMARC #TXT record is set to “p=none.” I highly recommend going into your Fastmail DNS settings, disabling the default DMARC TXT record, and adding a new custom record with “p=quarantine” or “p=reject.”

I wish I’d have known and fixed this years ago. (I discovered it accidentally while playing with MXToolbox.)

After testing multiple alternatives, I’ve reached the conclusion that I won’t be able to fully de-#Google.

I moved my photos to iCloud (even though search sucks) and I might move my email to #Fastmail (#StartMail wasn’t worth the money), but there‘s nothing out there for Google Calendar + Google Maps that isn’t Apple Calendar + Apple Maps, and I hate both so I’m stuck with Google 🙃

I’m trying out @fastmail but because they don’t offer a widget or a standalone app for the calendar, it takes 4 taps (edit: 2 if you enable the bottom menu) to simply check my calendar for the day 💀

1) Open #Fastmail app
2) Open side menu
3) Open drop-down menu
4) Finally switch to calendar view

I submitted a ticket to make sure I wasn’t missing anything (edit: workaround is to use #iOS Calendar app) but is anyone successfully using Fastmail as a #Google Calendar replacement? My current setup:

@grumpygamer @fastmail One reason why I switched to #fastmail is because it works relatively well with MacOS and iOS native Mail, Calendar, Contacts and even Reminders. You just need to go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Manage App Passwords and Access and if you create app password for iPhone or iPad it will generate a profile that you can import (even on MacOS) and that will set up everything automatically.

📝 Despite the warnings, I tried self-hosting my email #Development #Webdev #Fastmail #Tech #Email

I've been moving more and more of the infrastructure I run and host on to my own servers. One thing led to another and nearly all of what I used was there: analytics, photo storage, music, RSS, saved links and on and on. I got the itch to try this with email.

Just finished moving my email from Proton to Fastmail. The documentation for this makes it sound like the only option for importing your email from Proton is by hand via .eml files in batches of 1,000. :yikes:

But I was able to use Thunderbird, connected via Proton Bridge, to create MBOX files for each folder and then use the "HEY" import feature in Fastmail. Much easier.

Thunderbird has an Export tool called "ImportExport Tools NG" that made this possible. Hooray!

Out of curiosity I just contacted @fastmail to see if they hosted my email in Australia. Turns out they don't, its all US-based.

I knew they had offices there but this is something else, calling them an Australian business isn't really true. Honestly I'm pretty disappointed and not sure what to do next.

I get that places still host in the US but I was working to de-Google myself and ultimately reduce my reliance on it, and this just kinda sucks.

So #FastMail is great overall, but I'm having pretty serious problems with it sending too much to spam.

Receipts, email validations, shipping notifications, it's gotten much worse. Years ago, I rarely had to check spam, maybe once or twice a month and I'd catch a couple things. Now I have to check ALL the time. And when I tell it something doesn't belong, it doesn't learn. A day or two later I find that same sender back in spam again. I'm getting tired.

So.. I'm beginning the port AWAY from #Google domains hosted email now!

This #DEI statement is the last straw!

Is #FastMail the one to port your domain(s) to?

Does anyone know of a better email hosting company? (I have 4 or 5 domains to move and want to make sure I can 'port all the current emails in my family's inboxes as well. I want to make this as seamless as possible).

Thanks!

@lisamelton, can you boost for reach please?

rk: it’s hyphen-minus actually

#ProtonMail doesn't support grabbing your email via IMAP from another service (there is a desktop gateway for paid users).

They do have an export tool (proton.me/support/proton-mail-) but it spits out a bunch of .eml files with JSON metadata.

I wrote a quick script to convert such an export into a classic mbox file, which should be suitable for importing into, say, #Fastmail

Anyway, the script is here:

(I wrote the script in like 5 minutes, don't judge me.)
